About this house rental
Great spring and AUGUST dates available. Full week rentals (Sat-Sat) during July and August. Our beautiful home is conveniently located in an upscale Harwich Port neighborhood with a very short walk to our association beach. We recently remodeled adding a beautiful outdoor shower, contemporary flooring, new furniture, and freshly painted interior. Everything is looking great. We provide professionally laundered bed and bath linens. The house is a four bedroom, two bath, fully air conditioned cottage-style residence, with a large open kitchen and dining areas, relaxing living room, ideally located in a picturesque Cape Cod community. We’re located on the ocean side of Lower Country Road with a four minute walk to a salt water beach (no need to purchase parking stickers). Close by downtown Harwich Port for boutique shopping, casual dining, and Cape Cod Rail Trail access for great biking. Harwich Port is a well-kept secret on Cape Cod with discreet charm and true New England character. Our guests love us. Remember to book early for your preferred vacation week choice.

Beautiful home and location. Perfect for my family of 5. Deck and proximity to beach were my favorite.

This house was absolutely wonderful. It was only about a 5 minute walk to the beach and within 15 minutes of many different shops and restaurants. There was plenty of seating inside and outside of the house to play games together. We had everything we needed from the owners to have a great vacation. To have air conditioning on both floors was such a great bonus! Ed and Gayle were amazing hosts and we look forward to staying here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ed & Gayle’s home. They had everything we needed and it was a nice short walk to Earle St Beach. We would definitely love to rent there again if available.

House was very clean and comfortable. We especially appreciated the wagon for bringing things to and from the beach, and all the kitchen equipment - had everything we needed! We enjoyed our stay and hope to come again!

The house was impeccably clean and the kitchen was open and updated. The high ceilings make it feel airy. The downstairs bedrooms were perfect for my husband and me and our 6 year old, and my parents were perfectly happy in the twins upstairs. The outdoor shower looks brand new and the large deck and many outdoor seating options (including a hammock!) and grill draw you outside. The house is a short walk to a beautiful beach with very fine sand. A great stay!

The house was very clean and neat. Everything we needed was there. The house was centrally located on the Cape so we could travel anywhere in a comfortable day trip. I felt very safe allowing my dog to go outside by herself. It was an excellent way to celebrate my 75th birthday!

Beautiful cape cod neighborhood
We stayed for 3 days 4 nights at this beautiful home for a wedding weekend. There were 4 adults, 1 teen and 1 10 yr old. The house was clean, well appointed and on a gorgeous private street just a few minutes walk to the beach. We didn't spend a lot of time in the house, but the living areas are spacious and functional and the outdoor spaces inviting. The host was friendly and responsive. Overall a great house for the beach and cape cod experience.

Outstanding property! Impeccably clean! The home has everything you will need! The Property Managers (owners) are amazing, prompt, and provide awesome communication! We have stayed in numerous places, and this home was top notch! So close to a private beach! Exactly like the listing- if not better! Highly recommend! Close to shops, restaurants, and grocery needs. Under a five minute walk to beach. The water was gorgeous!

charming house, great layout and location
Stayed for a much needed weekend getaway. It's a short walk to the beach, and for those who like walking, an easy walk to town. Really nice setup outside of the house, with plenty of quiet places to read. Clean and bright inside. Excellent communication with the owner. Would definitely stay here again. Really wished I had booked a longer stay.

We were close to the beach and the house had all the amenities needed. It is a small place with a large kitchen and comfortable family room. Bedrooms are very small, but very comfortable. It has A/c and we used it a few times, nice to have. So great that it is pet friendly, our Golden had the best time! The House was super clean and the outdoor shower was the best!!

Our stay at's Ed's property was perfect! The house was spotless and beautiful. The attention to atmosphere and decorating was great, just being in the home made me happy. The kitchen is big and roomy with both a breakfast peninsula and a dining table, providing plenty of room for gathering at meals and to play games together. We were there during a cold windy week in April, so we spent plenty of time indoors. The living room was cozy and comfy. We were able to congregate there and play even more games!
The deck was inviting, although too cold for us to get much use out of. We were traveling with family, kids 8yo, 11yo, 16yo, and our 20yo adult son. There were more than enough beds for us.
The beach was at the end of the street, an easy walk, completely flat, no uphill battles, lol. We usually went to the next street over, where we found a short path through the "woods." This was great for walking the dog, as he is used to walking in fields and forest on the daily. My 8yo son was thrilled to find an enormous crop of wintergreen berries in those woods, lol.
The house in is a typical Cape Cod neighborhood, with houses right next door to each other. The street was a quiet side street that ends at the beach (no through driving traffic to the beach, which is nice.) The street is off a busier road that led right into town. Plenty of choices for restaurants and shopping.
No reservations. A thoroughly enjoyable experience!

2021 Spring Break
Renting Property was very easy through VRBO, but what really made it pleasant was working with the owner, Ed.
He was super accommodating, gave great instructions and very easy to work with.
Property is fantastic. Very clean, spacious with all the necessities for a short or long stay. And, best of all the beach access - 2 min walk to beautiful, clean and large beach.
Kids had a blast in safe and quiet neighborhood, easy to walk to town.
Overall 5 stars: property, owner, beach, area

Central to Lots - Close walk to the beach
The road this property is on is beautiful. The house is perfect. The outdoor shower is one of the best we've seen at other rental properties. Ed was extremely helpful and welcoming to our family. We vacationed with another family and our kids had a great time together. We were nearby some great places and a short walk to the beach. September was a lovely time to stay in Harwichport. My family and I are looking forward to another stay at Ed's house in the future.

Amazing House/Location
My family just returned from a week at Ed's house in Harwich Port. The house was amazing and Ed was very accessible and easy to communicate with. The house is less than a 5 minute walk to what I consider one of the best beaches on Cape Cod, Earle Road Beach. I would strongly recommend this property to anyone and my family will definitely be returning to this property in the future.

Great house for family and pets
This home was in such a great location and is perfect for pets as well. Being on a dead end and walkable to the beach made it an easy family walk to the water. I would highly recommend it

Like being at home... at the beach
We found this cottage when searching for a pet-friendly location for our family. With four bedrooms we were able to all come in comfort (5 of us and a dog - though only 4 made it this year). While more could sleep here this was a comfortable number for us. The owner is always available for questions and / or issues. The home is 1,000 steps from the beach. The beach itself is clean and during the week days wasn't very crowded at all. Their are carts available to tote your belongings the short distance down the road. Full A/C and a great out-door shower. We made use of the nice gas grill just off the deck. There's also plenty of parking. We only had two cars but also had some visitors - room for 5 or even 6 cars in a pinch. All the comforts of home right here at the beach.

Visiting from Greenville, SC.
Review by guest D.C. 6/19/-6/29/2019.
Dear Ed, Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home again this year! This has become our summer home away from home. We were able to see lots of our friends and family during our vacation. We spent many days at your beach, ate all the seafood and ice cream we could get our hands on, played mini golf, shopped, and went to the movies. We were also able to go to Martha's Vineyard to visit may grandparents. Another year of fabulous summer memories. Kindest regards. The C family: Danielle, Eric, Devan, Morgan, Nolan, and Reagan.

Perfect week in July
Everything you could ever need in a beach house was there at Ed’s house. The house was clean, stocked kitchen with the basics, and ready to use. The beach, only a 5 minute walk down a peaceful quaint neighborhood, was a breeze with the provided beach cart. The beach was really clean and family friendly. We would walk our dog in the early morning and in the evening on the beach and he just loved it. There really aren’t any negatives to speak of and look forward to spending some more Summer weeks here in the future.

Beautiful location
The house is in a lovely neighborhood. The beds were fairly comfortable except for the bed with the trundle which was very soft and squeaky. The outdoor shower was fantastic.
